FireSafe Plus has fixing options to suit all types of ceiling configurations and can be integrated into either a suspended or a solid ceiling. It remains hidden until required. Upon receiving a signal from the fire detection system or on loss of power the Automatic Fire Barrier unwinds to its fire operational position by gravity.
FireSafe Plus can be provided to protect openings widths of up to 6m and heights up to 6.6m.
The FireSafe Plus is an electrically operated Automatic Fire Barrier to be used to form a barrier against fire. It is designed for all application types where a lesser performance of radiation is required i.e. protecting a means of escape by creating a tenable zone to pass by.
The system has a classification of E120 EW120 in accordance with BS EN 13501 2:2007+A1:2009. The system was subjected to 25 pre-conditioned cycles achieving a C0 classification in accordance with BS EN 14600:2005. The system was subjected to a fire-resistance test achieving a performance level of 120 minutes to BS EN 1634 1:2014 in accordance with BS EN 1363 1:2012. Radiation of less than 15kW/m² was measure for a period up to 120 minutes to BS EN 1634 1:2014 in accordance with BS EN 1363 2:1999.
The fabric curtain consists of a stainless-steel wire reinforced glass fabric, coated with a specially formulated intumescent filled silicone. When exposed to temperatures above 160°C the coating system will form an expanding carbonic char. This material does not generate toxic emissions.
The fabric weight is approx. 1750g/m² with a nominal thickness of 1.7mm.
An optional braking system is available to allow a stage descent during deployment. Partial descent to a predetermined level to permit preliminary escape and initial smoke containment, after delay the barrier descends to full operational position.
